Thanks for all the responses guys, a few more questions:

1 - For those of you with the magnetic panel, what keeps someone from stealing it? (We, within the last year, bought our first new home in a nice neighborhood, but since we moved in my mustang has been egged and we had someone ringing our doorbell at 2AM on the weekend a few times) Im not sure I want something that could easily be stolen as i'm already about to sit outside in the bushes with my 12 gauge and wait to scare the crap out of someone (and do some hard time with my luck...LOL). If something got stolen off my car, that might push me over the edge ...LOL

2 - For those of you with the vinyl, is the installation the same as tinting a window (water with baby shampoo and a squeegee/hairdryer application)? I tinted windows in a former life and am very familiar with that process...

I've narrowed my decision down to either a flat black vinyl application, or the GTS/XENON rear panel, based on the possibility of someone being able to steal the magnetic one unless someone tells me otherwise.

TIA

No one will steal it b/c outside of the Mustang community no one will know that it isn't permanently affixed. Don't get the Xenon ones, they look like absolute crap even when they are brand new, and when they get scratched, forget about it.
